atented Get. 4, 1932 FERDINAND J'. SCHOTT, JR., OF CINCINNATI, OHIO PAPER GUIDE Application filed October 29, 1930. Serial No.v 491,967.

My invention relates to a paper guide adapted for use in connection with a paper feeding device for multigraphs or similar machines.

are provided with paper guides which are setby guessing at the width of margin desired and requires considerable experiment until the operator succeeds in setting the guide for the exact margin desired.

lv The object of my invention is to overcome 'the'inefficienoy of the present means by providing' a positive movement to the paper guide. A further object is to provide the guide with a scale whereby the exact margin desired can be obtained without expirementing. Further objects reside in the novel construction of parts. i w

I My invention will be .furtherreadily understood from the following description and claims, and from the drawings in which latter:

Fig. 1 is a side view of a multigraph machine and paper feeder with my improvements mounted thereon.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the paper feeder with my improved paper guide mounted thereon.

Fig. 3 is a detail section, taken in the plane of the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a detail section, taken in the plane of the line 44 of Fig. 2. I

Fig. 5 is a detail section, taken in the plane of the line 5 5 of Fig. 2, and

F ig. 6 is a detail section, taken in the plane of the line 66 ofvFig. 2.

I have shown my improved paper guide in connection with a printing multigraph machine 11,and paper feeder12. The multigraph machine is mounted on a stand 13 which supports the printing device'14, having the inking mechanism 15 attached thereto.

A stand 16 is spaced from the printing mechanism and supports a'paper feeding device 17. The paper feeding device is driven from an electric motor 18 supported on the stand 13.

The paper feeding device comprises a pair of'rollers 19, 20 journalled in hearings in side members 21 which are attached to the The paper feeders now in use thereto.

stand 16. Endless belts 22 are received over the rollers forming a conveyor for the paper being fed to the printing mechanism. Cross rods 23 extend parallel across the frame and are secured in the respective side members. 5 Blocks 24 having bores 25 received over the rods are slidable thereon. A strap 26 is connected to the blocks as by screws 27 received through holes 28 in the strap and threaded into threaded holes 29 in'the blocks. 1

A paper guide 30,'having a base31-and an upright guide wall 32, is secured to the blocks as by having brackets 33 suitably secured to the guide wall as by rivets 34. The brackets 33 are provided with apertures 65 35 for reception of screws 36 which are threaded into threaded holes 37 .in the blocks 24. The screws are provided with heads 38 for clamping the brackets to the blocks.

screw rod extends across'the frame central of the cross rods 23 and parallel The screw rod 40 is held endwise in the frame by being received through an opening 41 in one of the side members and is provided with collars 42 43 pinned to the rod on 7 each side of the side member. A block 44 is attached to the strap 26 by means of screws 45and is provided with a threaded hole 46 for co-operation with the threads 47 on the screw rod. A handle 48 is attached to the outer end of the screw rod for rotating the screw rod and causing the paper guide to move across the frame guided on the cross rods.

The strap 26 is recessed as at 49 adjacent to the collar 43 to permit the strap and paper guide to'be moved against the side frame member 21. I

A scale 51 is received in a recess 52 in the strap and is clamped in adjustedposition by means of a screw 53 received through a hole in the strap and through a slot 54 in the scale.

A thumb nut 55 received over the threaded end of the screw clamps the scale to the strap. The side member is cut away as at 56 to accommodate the scale. The scale is provided with inch graduations 57 pica type graduations 58 and elite type graduations 59.

In setting the paper guide for guiding paper into the printing machine, the handle is rotated luntil the "graduation on the scale corresponding with the desired margin coine ci'd'es with the outer edge of the side member. This rel'ation Will position the paper guide whereby eachsheet printed will have the desired margin; The scale is adjustable 0n the strap for the purpose of using the same parts on paper feeders of various Widths.

-Itis only" necessaryvto adjust the scalerelative to the paper guide When setting up the device on a paper feeder.

Having thus fully descrl What'I claim as new and desire to secure by 1 Letters Patent, is

1. In a paper feeding device comprising a frame, a pair of rods extending across said frame, a screw rod central of said rods and parallel thereto, a papergnide slidable on e said rods. an having foperative connection with sai dscrew rod, and a-rscale adj'ustably attached 'to said paper guide registering with said frame,

' 2Q Ina paper feeding device comprising a frame, guide rods jinsaid frame, a screw rod central said gl'lide rods, ahandle' for rotating saidflscrew rod', a paper guide mountedv on said guide rods and having operative connection Withsaid screw rodi means for po'si'tioning said screwrodrelatiVe to said frame, and a scale adjustably attached to said pap-er guide for. registry with said frame. 7 r
